The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

Abstract: Spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) comagnetometers possess considerable potential for applications in fundamental physics research and inertial navigation. Operating comagnetometers at the ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and ...

On 13 November, the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamic Explorers (EscaPADE) mission launched to space on the New Glenn rocket provided by Blue Origin.

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

Abstract: This article presents an active and integrated electromagnetic near-field probe and multicomponent near-field scanning system that can high-efficiently measure the normal electric field and ...

Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when such devices are working well, or even at all. A Pentagon contract suggests ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, mapped magnetic fields inside a planet-forming disk and seen how those invisible forces shape the gas and dust into distinct patterns. The new study reveals a ...

DroneScan3D attached to a drone, which is not included with the instrument. As more tower sites adopt drones for maintenance tasks, one amateur radio operator has designed a field strength instrument ...

A major dip in the Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic has been puzzling scientists for over a century. An international team of researchers analyzed data collected by the European Space ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...
